It could be argued that it died when the Cleveland Barons merged with the North Stars, only to later "un-merge" and become the San Jose Sharks. That certainly did a number on "continuity". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 20 hours ago, BBTV said: But... he technically remains an owner - so what, does he attend owners' meetings? Does the lineage die in 5 years? Questions. I have questions. Bettman said that construction of a new rink has to be at least 50% complete within the 5 year window in order for the franchise to be reactivated. If that doesn't happen, Phoenix will just get the same consideration as any other potential expansion market after that point. 5 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: It ended already, when the Senators tried to pretend they were connected to the Silver Seven. Speaking of which, I still wish the =O= set was promoted to primary status. The current iteration of the Sens has never pretended they're the same franchise as the original Senators. Yes, they brought back the name & have banners in the arena honouring the old Stanley Cup wins, but that's no different than the Jets 2.0 having Avco Cup banners & the old Jets retired numbers in their rink. We are in agreement on the =O= set though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJimmy Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I'm not gonna lie, the amount of AI slop being regurgitated in the replies instills me with a genuine and potentially homicidal sense of dread. also, Swarm is the only correct option. Outlaws is fine but boring, Yeti and Mammoth are reddit bait with syntax issues (also the Avs are right there), and the rest are non-starters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I think Mountaineers is a sneaky good name; the only question is how much the Avalanche would throw a fit about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Venom was the best name we got, so far. It's also distinct from the Avalanche. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
